# InstAddr vs Temp Mail

The clearest difference is review sentiment: InstAddr at 86% against Temp Mail's 47%. InstAddr also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.4). Temp Mail's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 956) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. InstAddr sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per month and Temp Mail sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Temp Mail holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Temp Mail has 20K ratings behind it against 956, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of InstAddr's written reviews are positive against 47% of Temp Mail's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

InstAddr ships an update monthly, Temp Mail every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
